Edward Brucker Obituary
By was born and grew up in Baltimore, MD. He earned his PhD in Elementary Particle Physics (High Energy Physics) from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. He was on the faculty of Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL and retired as a full Professor from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ.
By enjoyed the challenges of research, but he felt the most satisfaction when teaching and interacting with students.
As a young boy he became enamored with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. His love of trains, real and models, never left him. He made many friends and had great adventure while pursuing his lifelong hobby.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Margaret (Miller) Brucker and several nieces and nephews.
Services will be private. If desired, contributions can be made in his name to a charity of your choice.

Professor Brucker was one my advisors as an Undergraduate Physics major at Stevens. I graduated in '83. Strangely, even though I spoke with him often, I never ended up enrolled in one of his classes.
I also originally hail from Baltimore, so we had many things in common.
I'm saddened that I never really got to speak with him again, post graduation. At the very least, to thank him for all of the thoughtful advice he gave.

I was employed at Johns Hopkins University by Dr. Aihud Pevsner in 1956 when Byerly, I believe was his first doctoral candidate student. As a laboratory technician, I was tasked to calculate the mass of the Lambda (the topic of his dissertation) using formulas he supplied and a mechanical calculator. He also convinced me to join him (on clarinet) and Steve (on bassoon) in the Hopkins Symphony Orchestra playing the viola! It seems SO long ago- recalled by Doris Ellis (now Sweet). 9/17/2024

By loved model trains. He was a great friend and we will miss him.
